Prepared for Trouble

81. PAUL, October 23.-Adjutant-Gen-
eral Vincent, of the Department of Da-
kota, being asked about the military
preparations for meeting the expected
trouble at the Grow agency, Montana,
said some forty of the turbulent young
Crows had been at Tongue River agency
with the view of inducing the Chey
ennes there to join them, but the latter
refused to do so. A troop of cava ry
and company of infantry left Fort
Keogh at noon yesterday for Tongue
River agency with the view of insuring
quiet. Three companies of infantry are
held in readiness ct Fort Keogh for i'm
mediate service whenever circum-
stances may demand. Three troops
of cavalry and two companies
of infantry have been ordered
from Fort Meade to Bullock's Fer, ba-
tween Tongue River agency ana Grow
agency, for service in case of any in
tended outbreak by the Crows, and to
prevent them. should they be disposed
to do so, from breaking away in a
southeasterly direction. AT Fort Custer
within eight miles of the Crow agency
there are FIVE troops of cavalry and two
companies of infantry, also one COM
pany of infantry Immediately at the
agency. General Ruger reached Fort
Custer at noon TO day.

A Charokaa Trneedr-

CHICAGO, October PA special from
Tahlegrapb, Indian Territory, says:
The killing of B. 81. Stone, editor of
the Telephone, by Colonel Baudinot,
editor of the Advocate, yesterday, it is
feared, will result this week in civil war
in the Cherokee nation. The tragedy
is the climax to the worst bitter politi-
cal fight that has ever taken place IN
the Territory, and the indications are
that the trouble will result in the sever
ance of tribal relations, and that the
Territory will be open to settlers. For
several weeks the Telephone has been
making attacks on Baudinot. and yes
terday'S issue was unusually severe.
Baudinot called on Stone and asked for
a retraotion, which was refused. Baudi-'
not then drew a revolver and shot
Stone dead. Stones friends are deter
mined on vengeance, and Baudinot's
friends are guarding him. As there is
no court of adjudication except the
shotgun, the indications are that the
near future will witness alarming NOR
tally among the Cherokees.

San Francisco, named Mcclellan, gave
an exhibition in this city recently, with
a professional from New Orleans, and
got the better of the contest. He met
his match, however. at station on the

influence of liquor he challenged any
one of the crowd, who were quietly
slipping their beer in village inn. to
fight with him. A powerful black
canal digger accepted the challenge and
in few seconds the men we're engaged
in brutal encounter. Mcclellan was
caught up in the arms of his less sci
entiic antagonist and thrown violently
three times. He was unable to rise
after the third fall and was found to be
severely injured. BE died a few days
sfterward from the effects of internal
injuries sustained during the encounter.

OF Mayor French. and stealing up be-
hinu him, sent bullet into his brain

ing as yet unknown, and meeting sew
eral citizens, he asked in q thrs at
ening manner about evening up

freely, passing on to the entrance TO

A Prospect of Being saved

SAN Francisco, October 24.-The sui
eide yesterday of Henry Benhayon.
brother in-law of Milton Bowers, now
under sentence Of death for poisoning
his wife two years ago, has resulted in
sensational developments. Benhayon
left letter addressed to the coroner
the contents of which the official de-
clines to reveal, but it is stated, on good
authority, that the letter is q
full confession, and that Ben
hayon acknowledged that he ad-
ministered the poison to his
sister for the purpose OF obtaining the
insurance on her life, and exonerated
Bowers from any connection with the
crime. The letter has been placed in
the hands of the police authorities and
efforts are being made to establish the
truth of the statements. During the
trial of Bowers, who was a practicing
physician of this city, the evidence
against him was circumstantial and
Benhayon was one of thel principal
witnesses ;or the prosecution. Bowers
was found guilty of murder in the rirst
degree an Sentenced to be hanged.
The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, where it is now pending.
